"...I had no horse (face) in this race..."

Opensecrets.org says otherwise you filthy liar Zogby.

One word or 10,000 words of "explanation" it still all amounts to bulls**t. You know, we know so why try to alibi? Typical Dem crap.

Does anyone notice that these pollsters always get their numbers wrong, then point to the internals to prove why they were right...

Hey John, you cannot make the statement that this president got re-elected with the lowest approval and directional ratings, when those ratings come from the flawed polls themselves. If your poll is wrong, you cannot state as fact that the President has low approval ratings.

Seems to me that the President just got a 51% approval Rating...and anyone with a 50% approval rating has been re-elected. YOUR POLLS WERE ALL WRONG. YOU CANNOT MAKE ANY ASSUMPTIOS ON ANY OF THE NUMBERS YOU GOT. PERIOD.

> My polling was right. My ability to predict was wrong.

So if his polling has no clear predictive value,
why would anyone pay him for his work product?

... unless what the customer actually wanted was
bent results to begin with.

Okay, I got it wrong. And I got it right. Last May, I did indeed say that John Kerry would win and, if he didn’t, it would be his fault.

Nice try to cover your ass no matter what the outcome.

Get a new schtick, this one's not working.

Zogby translation:

*blub blub blub* "Too....much....sauce...."
*blub blub blub* "Must hold on...."
*blub blub blub* "No...more....sauce......at least until '08."

Second, John Kerry led the President on his ability to handle most issues – the economy, education, health care and the war in Iraq. But the President triumphed on his handling of the war on terrorism, on moral values, and on leadership.

AND JUST HOW DID HE LEAD? IF ANYTHING IS CLEAR, IT'S THAT KERRY COULD NOT EVEN MANAGE HIS OWN CAMPAIGN.

Ah yes....fake. Much like the CBS NG memos.
(sniff, sniff)....

Hey....I'm starting to smell a very striking parallel here! What IS that odor? Could it be that well known 'fragrance'.....lefty eau de toilette?
